EuropeanSpaceTalks:Sharingourpassionforspace,november2018

on 27 September 2018

The Romanian Space Agency (ROSA), as coordinator of ESA activities in Romania, invites you to take part in a new outreach initiative to promote space. European Space Talks will take place during the month of November and offers members of the European space family the opportunity to join other space professionals, researchers or enthusiasts in presenting their latest research, activities or interests in space.

European Space Talks is a grassroots campaign, based on the members of the European space community organising activities in the ESA Member States, in November 2018. These activities can be organised by schools, school clubs or astronomy clubs, universities, research institutes, space industry or any other entity wishing to promote space to the general public.

Space concerns everyone as it contributes to our lives on a daily basis and can help to solve some of humankind’s greatest challenges. The European space sector contributes significantly to Europe’s economy and inspires the younger generations in many ways. As European space professionals, we have a responsibility to let people know what our space organisations and industry are doing, as well as making sure that everyone better understands the world we live in, in order to prepare tomorrow’s world.

To set up and run a Space Talk, simply register as an event organiser here and download the communication kit. Then you will receive access to a central website where you can create your own event, and promote it together with the other Space Talks. We encourage you to use the hashtag #SpaceTalks when promoting your event on social media.

The European campaign will culminate on Saturday, 24 November, but Space Talks can take place throughout the month of November.

If you want to attend a Space Talk, a list of events near you will be available on the Space Talks web site soon!
